It's four wheel drive, not four wheel turn, or four wheel stop. It will help you get going but honestly probably hurt you more as all wheel drive cars are heavier.

Light, fwd cars with snow tires are better for the vast majority of people. Of course there's use cases for all wheel drive and four wheel drive, but most people don't need it. Marketing has worked great.

All I know is that with my blizzaks I'm not getting up steep hills in the winter in 2WD. Throw it in 4WD and there's no problem.
